Short Film:The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow (USA, 2008)

Here's an arty short horror film that
overflows with atmosphere. The
Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow was written by Rodrigo Gudiño,
and directed by him and Vincent Marcone. Rodrigo Gudiño "is the
publisher of Rue Morgue Magazine, senior
coordinator of the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear National Horror Expo, producer
of the Rue Morgue Podcast and co-programmer of Rue Morgue's CineMacabre Movie
Nights". His first feature film, The
Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh (trailer), was released in 2012.

The
Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow has won a number
of awards since its release, and it's easy to see why: beautifully made,
mysterious, and visually alluring, it is a slow burner that tells its tale in an
uncommon fashion. The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow is a horror
film, without doubt, but it is less a traditional narrative than a visual
impression that evolves the closer you look, proffering chilling tidbits and
clues that offer the semblance of storyline but no hint of a conclusion. It features
a certain level of dream logic and visuals, and like many an unpleasant dream
(or full-fledged nightmare), it leaves as many questions unanswered as it makes
revelations. Enjoy.
